Elmer Snodgrass and the Musical Pioneers were starring over WGGA in
Gainesville, Georgia back in the mid-1950s. Elmer led the group and
handled the emcee chores.

This five member group had a broad array of talent it seems. Helen Farmer
was the female vocalist who also played guitar. Their fiddle playing
was handled by Stanford Lee, a champion fiddler of North Georgia. Chuck
Atha was said to sing cowboy vocals and also do impersonations of other
hillbilly singers.

The group had two shows - one at 1:05pm each day and another on 8:30pm
on Saturdays. The second hour of their program was usually devoted to
doing gospel numbers, including taking requests from the listening
audience.
